I'm off on my sauce tangent again, so I'm going to commit to populating the "Sauces" label, and this is definitely one of them easy ones. I love making sauces in batches then freezing or giving them away as gifts. Best of all, you always have something to jazz up a dinner with when you're in a pinch.

Try this for sass.
